Hopefully 3rd grade will be a little shorter, but I don't think it will be. He's already pouty about the workbooks we ask him to do during the summer (a page a day!) We'll see. Sounds like all is going great for you all!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12999470516050863054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12126103.post-30852794754021775512009-08-24T10:38:27.910-05:002009-08-24T10:38:27.910-05:00My (non-adopted) niece used to have terrible meltd...My (non-adopted) niece used to have terrible meltdowns at the start of first grade -- for about the first month. We all attributed it to how tiring the school day was compared to what kindergarten had been like. It seemed like she kept it together through the school day but that required so much energy that she had none left to control herself once she got home. The meltdowns generally stopped about a month into the school year. Our two (adopted) sons have both passed through the transition from half-day kindergarten to full-day grade 1, and while they didn't meltdown on us (any more than usual!) we did notice how TIRED they were for the first couple months of their grade 1 years. They would be falling into their dinner plates with exhaustion.BThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802465316673594087noreply@blogger.com
